Do you know wht the best exercise is for each Muscle Group?

The best exercises for each body part.

MULTI JOINT EXERCISES

Back: Deadliff, bent-over row, pull-up, seated row

Chest: Flat-bench press, incline press, decline press (all performed with either dumbbells or a barbell)

Shoulders: Overhead press (seated or standing)

Thighs: Squat, hack squat, leg press

Triceps: Close-grip flat-bench press, triceps dip

SINGLE-JOINT EXERCISES

Chest: Flat-bench, decline, or incline dumbbell flye, pec-deck machine

Shoulders: Lateral raise, front raise, bent-over lateral raise (all performed either with dumbbells or using a cable machine)

Thighs: Leg extension, leg curl (standing, seated or lying)

Calves: Standing or seated calf raise

Triceps: Lying EZ-French press, one- or two-arm overhead dumbbell extension, cable press-down (with rope or bar)

Biceps: Standing barbell curl, alternating dumbbell curl, dumbbell concentration curl, preacher EZ-bar or dumbbell curl

Compound exercises involve two or more of the body's joints; for example, in the bent-over row, movement occurs at the shoulder joint and at the elbow. Single-joint exercises, like a concentration curl, involve only one joint.


All the best in your weight training, powerlifting, and bodybuilding programs.
